We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.

Player's Review
Some sort of racing game where you ride boats and compete against other boats. This was originally released on the Arcade and later ported to PS1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PC.
In order to progress, you have to complete the races based on each level's objective; for the Easy tracks the requirement is to finish at least on third place, for Medium it's either winning it or on second place, and for the rest of the tracks you have to literally do a flawless run since they require you to win the race or else nothing will be unlocked. In this video I try to use a different boat to complete each race, except for the Bonus ones since Cutthroat does a better job at some of them, but I did re-race the Easy tracks in order to show the unlockable Bonus boats.
By the way, I just realized this was recorded without the Expansion Pak slot enabled, but I did a check to be sure and it just enables 4-player for the VS mode, no improvements in framerate nor anything else which sucks. Not to mention this has a random softlock issue on Bizhawk, which led me to have a hard time using lots of savestates to bypass that.
EASY TRACKS
00:00:54 -- Thunder Park
00:03:45 -- Lost Island
00:06:52 -- Arctic Circle
MEDIUM TRACKS
00:10:11 -- Greek Isles
00:13:33 -- Lake Powell
00:16:58 -- The Far East
HARD TRACKS
00:20:13 -- Ship Graveyard
00:23:07 -- Venice Canals
00:25:57 -- New York Disaster
BONUS TRACKS
00:28:44 -- Catacomb
00:32:09 -- Hydro Speedway
00:35:06 -- Castle von Dandy
00:38:20 -- Nile Adventure
00:42:30 -- Re-run of all Easy tracks to show the unlockable Bonus boats. Armed Response was already used for Castle von Dandy since I felt it's slightly better than the other boats in the Bonus category.
